Apparently, there was a study done on men and the caliber of a restaurant they would take a woman to, depending on how she was dressed. The outfit that prompted men to suggest the nicest restaurants?

May’s now officially half way over! Phew. It’s been challenging putting together outfits every day. Do I plan them the night before? Nope!
